"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague." -Cicero

FLASHBACK- SUPREME COURT JUSTICE: U.S. CONSTITUTION INFERIOR

This is the same RADICAL Clinton appointee that: "Inan absolutely stunning interview with
the New York Times, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg alluded
to the fact that abortion is all about getting rid of certain types of
people that the elite do not want to have around:

"Frankly
I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern
about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we
don’t want to have too many of."

Now in what kind of sick world is it EVER acceptable to use the phrase "populations that we don't want to have too many of"?

That has got to be one of the most offensive statement made by any public figure in recent memory.

Yet
the mainstream media has mostly let is pass without objection. So
this latest interview given on FOREIGN SOIL should not surprise us, the
woman is not fit to be on the Supreme Court. -W.E.

One
member of the U.S. Supreme Court, whose members are sworn to uphold
the Constitution of the United States, says she would look elsewhere –
Canada, South Africa and Europe – should she be tasked with writing a
constitution now.

The stunning statements come from Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

She was being interviewed by Al Hayat in Egypt, which is trying to develop a government after citizens deposed longtime dictator President Hosni Mubarack last year.

Egypt
is facing major obstacles to a democratic form of government as the
Muslim Brotherhood as a political party has been assembling a majority
in the country. Among its goals is a Muslim caliphate worldwide.

She
was asked: “Would your honor’s advice be to get a part of other
countries’ constitutions as a model, or should we develop our own draft?

Her response:

“You
should certainly be aided by all the constitution-writing that has
gone on since the end of World War II. I would not look to the U.S.
constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012. I
might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate
attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced
basic human rights, had an independent judiciary. It really is, I think,
a great piece of work that was done.

“Much
more recent than the U.S. Constitution is Canada has a Charter of
Rights and Freedoms. It dates from 1982. You would almost certainly
look at the European Convention on Human Rights. Yes, why not take
advantage of what there is elsewhere in the world? I’m a very strong
believer in listening and learning from others.”

“For
a sitting U.S. Supreme Court justice to speak derisively about the
Constitution she is sworn to uphold is distressing, to say the least.
Justice Ginsburg’s comments about our Constitution undermine the
Supreme Court as an institution dedicated to the rule of law, as well as
our founding document.”

According
to Liberty Counsel, “For a United States Supreme Court justice,
entrusted with the duty to interpret the Constitution, this type of
statement is unacceptable. Justice Ginsburg failed to respect the
authority of the document that it is her duty to protect. When given
the opportunity to promote American liberty abroad, Justice Ginsburg
did just the opposite and pointed Egypt in the direction of
progressivism and the liberal agenda.”

Ginsburg
also noted that among her favorite parts of the Constitutions is the
provision that judges’ salaries cannot be reduced, as well as a
guarantee of independence to judges.

She
also said the U.S. Constitution is “rather old,” and told Egyptians
that a constitution will mean nothing unless the people it serves and
protects desire liberty and freedom.

“If the people don’t care, then the best constitution in the world won’t make any difference,” she said.

In a commentary at Slate, David
Weigel said, “Ginsburg has disturbed the balance of the universe by
giving an interview to Egyptian television in which she does not
recommend using the U.S. Constitution as a model for post-Mubarak
happiness.”

He
continued, “If you want, here you go: Proof that a Supreme Court
justice … looks to other countries for advice on an evolving
Constitution! Of course, we’ve known this about Ginsburg for years,
because she’s said so repeatedly.”

At American Spectator,
John Tabin said she “gets one of nine votes on the functional meaning
of the U.S. Constitution. That she thinks the age of the Constitution
she’s charged with interpreting make[s] it deficient relative to newer
constitutions is kind of shocking, particularly in the context of her
praise for the rights enshrined in the First Amendment – rights that, in
practice, are protected far less robustly in South Africa or Canada or
Europe than they are in the U.S. Ginsburg also noted that among her favorite parts of the
